- Solid forged rotor. A one-piece solid forged rotor means no chance of internal parts separation. They have an even wall thickness around the coil which gives optimum flux distribution, maximizing torque
- Different coil voltages available. 12 volt is the most common
- High temperature, longer-life grease. Our special long-life grease has shown a significant inprovement in life over other standard high temp greases.
- E-coating. Where possible, all parts in the clutch are e-coated to give maximum corrosion protection.
- High-temperature epoxy coil. To help prevent failure from vibration and outside contaminants, all coils are sealed in the coil shell with a high-temperature epoxy coating.
- Forged machined pulley. All General Pump models use a heavy-duty machined pulley. A stronger pulley resists damage due to abusive environments.
Typical Mobile Clutch - Water Pump Applications In typical water pump applications, the clutch is mounted on the input shaft of the water pump. Since the clutch has an integral pulley, a belt is used as the input to the clutch. This belt is normally driven directly from an electric motor or a gas/diesel engine. When there is no power to the clutch, the water pump does not not engage; however when power is activated, the clutch drives the water pump to initiate water flow. In this application, the GP clutch is mounted directly to a General Pump by using an adapter plate. Used in Carpet Cleaning, Texture Spray Machines, High Pressure Pump applications. Reasons for using an Electromagnetic Clutch: 1. Reduced horsepower consumption from the engine - Extended pump life 2. Less Cost - Simple installation 3. Operator convenience - Cold weather starting
